Chapter 633: You Also Know Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship?
On the battlefield.
Lin Xuan was pushed back a few steps. His vital energy roiled, his face a mask of astonishment. This is the Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship! It’s incredible!
I can’t believe Chu Zhongtian also knows the Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship. After hearing Chu Zhongtian’s words, he chuckled. So, he just got lucky and stumbled upon the first two moves of the Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship—Sword One and Sword Two. But so what? I also know the Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship. And I know much more. I know the entire Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship, from Sword One to Sword Nine. This Chu Zhongtian is a fool for trying to compete with me in swordsmanship.
He had already bested his opponent in the Serpent Fist. Next, Lin Xuan prepared to suppress him with swordsmanship. He intended to crush Chu Zhongtian in every possible way.
The spectators watching from a distance were discussing excitedly, all of them certain that Lin Xuan was bound to lose.
At this moment, Ye Qingwu spoke up. "That’s not necessarily true. Junior Brother Lin isn’t just skilled in Fist Techniques; his Swordsmanship is also exceptionally powerful."
"What? Lin Xuan knows Swordsmanship too?" The people around her exclaimed in shock upon hearing this.
It seemed Lin Xuan’s trump cards were also very strong. Perhaps he could still turn the tables against all odds. Thinking of this, many people grew expectant, hoping Lin Xuan could truly display his prowess.
Not far away, the Star Pavilion Master sneered. You people are truly naive. So what if that brat knows swordsmanship? Can it compare to the Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship? That is a top-tier swordsmanship left behind by a Dragon Warrior! To put it bluntly, no swordsmanship in the entire Great Xia Country can surpass the Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship. No matter what swordsmanship that brat uses, he is doomed to fail. If Lin Xuan sticks to the Serpent Fist, he might be able to hold on for a few more moves, but if he also tries to use swordsmanship, he will be defeated in an instant.
The crowd was in an uproar. The members of the Lin Family from Wangyue Pavilion were especially tense.
"How could this be? Lin Xuan must not use swordsmanship."
"If it comes to it, just have the Young Master concede." The Lin Family members were beside themselves with worry. They couldn’t bear the thought of Lin Xuan dying.
But Ye Qingwu said, "Don’t worry. Lin Xuan’s swordsmanship is also top-notch. He won’t lose."
"Utterly foolish," the Star Pavilion Master snorted.
Chu Yue rolled her eyes. "Ye Qingwu, you’re so naive. To think that Lin Xuan can win is simply laughable!"
The others also shook their heads and sighed, none of them believing Ye Qingwu’s words. In their view, Lin Xuan would probably continue using his World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist, but his defeat was only a matter of time.
On the battlefield.
Chu Zhongtian was in high spirits. Being suppressed in the Serpent Fist exchange earlier had driven him mad, but now things were different. He had forced his opponent back with a single sword strike. He was finally on the offensive.
He declared complacently, "Did you see that, kid? This is my true strength! So what if you’ve mastered the Serpent Fist to the fourth level? You’re still no match for me. What I’m using is the Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship! You are destined to lose."
Lin Xuan laughed. "Defeat me? It won’t be that easy. Next, I’ll let you experience my swordsmanship as well."
What?
The entire audience was stunned silent. Everyone was dumbfounded. Lin Xuan was actually going to use swordsmanship against Chu Zhongtian.
What kind of joke was this? Wasn’t he just courting death?
The spectators below cried out in disbelief. "Heavens! Did I hear that right?"
"Lin Xuan is actually going to use swordsmanship!"
"You’ve got to be kidding me! Has he gone crazy?"
"Is he out of his mind? Doesn’t he know Chu Zhongtian practices a top-tier swordsmanship? No swordsmanship can surpass the Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship."
They all thought Lin Xuan was being incredibly foolish.
The Emperor frowned, not understanding why Lin Xuan would choose to use swordsmanship.
The Dean of the academy spoke with a grave tone, "Lin Xuan, don’t be careless! Use the Serpent Fist with all your might. That is your only chance!"
The Wangyue Pavilion Master, the Lin Family, and the Cyan Dragon Manor Master all tried to persuade him.
The Wangyue Pavilion Master said, "Lin Xuan, don’t be reckless!"
The Cyan Dragon Manor Master added, "Young Master! Don’t compete with him in swordsmanship! Don’t you also know the Cyan Dragon Sky-Splitting Palm? Use that ultimate skill against him. You’ll surely win!"
The members of the Lin Family were on the verge of tears from fright. "Young Master, you absolutely cannot be careless!"
The Sword Casting Manor Master and the Azure Cloud Tower Master also chimed in with their own words of caution.
The people from the Star Pavilion were baffled. Is this kid asking to be killed? How stupid!
Chu Yue gloated, "Haha, let’s see how he dies!"
The Star Pavilion Master snorted again. "Idiot! In a duel of swordsmanship, he’ll be defeated instantly."
Master Song burst into loud, excited laughter. "This Lin Xuan is truly courting death." One could only imagine how miserable his end would be.
On the other side, the people from the Celestial King’s Mansion were also laughing.
"This kid is a complete idiot!"
"He’s a dead man for sure!"
The Celestial King grunted coldly. It seemed the battle was about to be well and truly over.
Even Chu Zhongtian was stunned.
"You want to fight me with swordsmanship? Are you sure? I am using the Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship! A top-tier swordsmanship! Have you lost your mind?"
Chu Zhongtian’s face was full of contempt. "Kid, no matter what swordsmanship you’ve learned, you are no match for me. In all of Great Xia, no swordsmanship can compare to the Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship."
Lin Xuan smiled and said, "My swordsmanship is no weaker than yours. Because what I practice is also the Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship."
What?
Upon hearing this, Chu Zhongtian froze.
The Dean of the Heavenly Dao Academy froze.
The Emperor froze.
The Celestial King froze.
The Star Pavilion Master froze.
The Wangyue Pavilion Master froze.
Master Song froze.
Everyone was completely and utterly stunned.
"What is Lin Xuan saying?"
"Lin Xuan knows the Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship too?"
"Is that for real?"
"Damn, that’s unbelievable!"
"No wonder the kid wants to use swordsmanship. It turns out he knows it too!"
"This guy is truly something else."
Many people began to exclaim. They were about to witness a true duel between dragons.
"Impossible!" Chu Yue shrieked. "How could you possibly know the Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship? I don’t believe it! You’re lying!"
The Star Pavilion Master scoffed, "Nonsense. The Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship is an unparalleled technique, exceedingly rare. How could someone like you possess it?"
The Celestial King rolled his eyes. This kid is bragging again.
A commotion erupted among the crowd as they realized he must have been bluffing.
Master Song let out a sigh of relief. That had scared him to death; for a moment, he had actually believed Lin Xuan knew the Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship. Now it seemed the brat was just spouting nonsense again.
The people from the three great families gave wry smiles, while those from the four major sects sighed.
The Celestial Sword Sect Leader also shook his head and said, "He must be bluffing. The Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship is too precious. It has long been lost to time. There’s no way he could have obtained it."
Chu Zhongtian let out a disdainful snort. "You also know the Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship? Hahahaha!"
He laughed so hard that tears started to well up in his eyes. This kid’s boasting truly knew no bounds.
"Kid, do you have any idea how precious the Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship is? I had to search countless ancient ruins before I found it by a stroke of pure luck. And even then, I only found two of its moves! That in itself was incredibly fortunate. On what grounds could you possibly obtain the Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship?"
Chu Zhongtian simply didn’t believe him. He had found it only after scouring the world and getting lucky. He refused to believe that Lin Xuan could have had the same good fortune.
"Then it seems your luck wasn’t that great," Lin Xuan said calmly. "You only found Sword One and Sword Two. I, on the other hand, obtained the complete Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship. From Sword One to Sword Nine, I know them all!"
Hahahaha! The crowd erupted in uproarious laughter. This kid was too much of a braggart. Chu Yue was laughing so hard that tears streamed down her face.
The Star Pavilion Master said with disdain, "If that kid really knows the Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship, I’ll eat every single treasure sword here!"
Chu Zhongtian’s face darkened into a stormy scowl. He felt that Lin Xuan was far too boastful, so arrogant and oblivious. You know the complete Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship? What a joke! Who do you think you are?
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes as the draconic Sword Qi reappeared around his body. A terrifying aura swept across the surroundings.
The next moment, he slashed his sword toward Lin Xuan.
"Kid, I’m dying to see if you really know the Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship!"
